Quality of Seed for Allies Assured by Government Tests The United States Department of Agriculture is using a pre-war service to help our Allies grow the food they need to keep on fighting. No lot of forage crop and vegetable seeds now being bought by the government for shipment overseas is accepted until tests of representative samples have shown that the seeds are of the right variety and will germinate nor mally. These tests, made in the federal seed testing labora tory at the Beltsville Research Center, Beltsville, Md., and its branches across the country were developed for use in the rvictoiy ■UParade. enforcement of the Federal Seed Act passed in 1939 to protect American seed buyers from be ing misled. These pictures show how seed tech nologists at Re search Center test seeds bought under Lend Lease for our Allies. Left, top: “Rolled totver’ germination method of testing xcpJs. Seed tech nologist counts the number of garden bean seeds that sprouted normally under test. Left, lower: Checking results of germina tion test on several samples of celery seeds. Seedlings grown in the greenhouse from seeds of unidentified variety grow into sturdy plants in cold frames before transplanting. Seeds that cannot be identi fied as to variety until they have grou-n to maturity are started in the greenhouse and transplanted. Here you see a Boerner grain sampler being used to divide a bagful of seeds into a representa tive portion before testing. The vacuum counter which this man holds in his left hand auto matically counts out the number of seeds desired for the “rolled tower’ germination test, and places them the right distances apart on a moist paper towel laid on a sheet of waxed paper.

There’s no reason why you should not be getting your necessary pro tein into your daily menus, or wfcy using meat alternates, i.e.—foods you use alternately with meat should become a dull or difficult problem. Here’s your opportunity to show your family what a really smart homemaker you are—for you can keep up their ad miration for you by serving an endless variety of i good egg and • chicken dishes, ‘ and fish in all its variety. These foods are protein rich and with a little ingenuity you can make a star performer out of many of them. Chicken comes beautifully to the rescue for it’s a good, complete pro tein and the supply is good, espe cially at the present time. Use chicken wisely, however, a little bit of it combined with other foods can make a meal or more out of one chicken. Here’s an example: •Chicken Chowder. (Serves •) 1 cop cooked, diced chicken 2 ounces salt pork, finely diced, or 4 tablespoons chicken fat 2 to 4 tablespoons onion, finely chopped Z'/i cups potatoes, diced 1 cup celery, diced 2 cups chicken stock 1 No. 2 can kernel corn 1 tall can evaporated milk % teaspoon paprika Y* teaspoon ginger 1 teaspoon salt Y* teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons chopped parsley Cook salt pork in sauce pan over low heat until lightly browned.

Heat thoroughly, stirring oc casionally. Season to taste with ad ditional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve very hot with crackers, hard rolls or toast. Make good use of crisp, cool vege tables to go into a salad with the Chicken Chowder to round out the meal: •Chef’s Salad. (Serves 6) 1 head lettuce Z tomatoes, cot In quarters 4 spring onions, cut fine Lynn Says: The Score Card: Consumers can do a lot in stamping out the illegal sale of meat by making sure that all meat they buy comes from a carcass which carries the necessary stamps — the permit number of the slaughterer and a grade stamp. Ceiling prices are in effect in many areas for meat. They are posted by the butcher near meat counters and you can consult them when buying your meat. Changes have come about on the bread situation. No more double or triple wrapping is al lowed for bread and rolls. No more leftover bread or rolls can be returned to the baker, nor can there be any fancy racks for dis playing bread. Retail bakers are limited to 15 varieties of bread and nine va rieties of rolls in one week. Many of these measures are designed to keep bread prices down. Although outwardly, bread trimmings have brtn stripped, the Insides are better. All white bread must now be enriched. Each loaf of white bread must contain not less than three parts nor more than four parts of milk solids to 100 parts of flour.

Marek Wind heim, former Metropolitan Opera tenor, will play a pianist-accompan ist for Pola Negri, who makes her motion picture comeback as an opera singer. Seems he was chosen because he, like Miss Negri, is of Polish descent and artistic tempera ment. Richard Hageman, Metro politan Opera conductor, plays a stockbroker. —*— !
